It's January 9th. Here's your Dallas Stars news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The Dallas Stars are heating up again after a big 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

What recent victory helped the Dallas Stars end their losing streak?
Now they're tied with the Minnesota Wild for the second-best mark in the NHL. Despite that strong standing, sportsbooks are sleeping on the stars a bit. They're listing Dallas with the seventh-best odds to win the Stanley Cup at plus 1,300 and plus 750 to take the Western Conference. That's surprising, given they've reached the Western Conference Final the past three seasons in a row. Fans and bettors see this as a golden opportunity, especially with the Colorado Avalanche grabbing most of the headlines. Colorado leads the Central Division with six more wins and 11 more points, but they've shown some wobbles lately, like dropping two of their last. three before an 8-2 blowout, Thursday. Looking ahead, the Stars have three more games against Colorado this season, plus value bets on players like defenseman Miro Heiskanen at plus 6,000 for the Norris Trophy.
Winner Jason Robertson, snubbed from the Olympic roster, has the third-best odds for the Rocket Richard Trophy and is on pace for nearly 50 goals. Overall, this win reminds everyone the Stars play their best hockey when it counts, and the standings plus betting lines scream undervalued team right.
